Many states are also installing these units.  They are generally not used for
enforcement purposes -- and in fact, it would be counterproductive to do so
because there have been cases of major vandalism (by truckers?).  They are
used for "Weigh in Motion" studies for pavement and bridge design purposes.
WIM sites are pretty accessible on the internet.
